On several occassions I have discussed this issue off line with members or guest who are concerned about flying with their dogs. You have probably heard horror stories about some pets being lost during transportation by aircraft. I have flown with my dogs and have sent puppies by air and have not had any problems. My adult dogs were medicated with "calm down" or other calming meds. Have you flown with or sent your dogs or pups on a flight? If you did please share your tips or other info with us.
